Geez...so much for that thought! I wouldn't be able to afford an extra $600 either!

(But the option of making them miserable is still there.

That is so infuriating. There is nothing like the stress of having them right there too. It's like it's YOUR home, and you want to be comfortable and have what you want , and just be able to relax. The world is stressful enough, and home is where you are supposed to be able to go to get away from it all! I hope you can work something out. I'm sorry you are going through this.

MindieRose · 06-25-2008, 03:00 PM

Thank you all for your kind words. It is very stressful. I do not think the government should be allowed to come in and tell you that you cannot have your pets when the animals are healthy and are not hurting anyone else. I feel that is just wrong. These people just hate dogs, and they are trying to get me to get rid of them. Boy are they in for a shock.
I am putting up a privacy fence on my property line in the next couple of weeks on that side of my house. All they do is sit and stare at my house all the time. They are so nosey. I dont want them even looking this way anymore.

SaraAlexine00 · 06-25-2008, 03:07 PM

That is so sad!! I'm so sorry. I think you should do everything you can to keep them on your property!

I hate your neighbors and I've never met them!!

MyFairLacy · 06-25-2008, 03:54 PM

That's aweful. Maybe you can round up your other neighbors and have them sign a petition or something? Maybe each of your neighbors can confront the troublemakers and let them know they are not appreciated...

jp4m2 · 06-25-2008, 04:46 PM

It sure stinks when you have a neighbor who's mission in life seems to be making a nuisance of themselves......I don't know if it would do any good at this point since the zoning people already know your property is under the 4 acre limit but....I would kiss some major rear, I would go to the neighbors dripping with so much sweetness that bees would swarm.....I would ask them if there was ANYTHING you could do to make the situation better for them and explain how much the horses mean to your family....tell them you would be willing to put up a fence so they wouldn't be bothered so much ( even though you where going to do the fence anyway

).....apologize for any thing you may have done to upset them....If it meant keeping my pets I would do it....at this point you have nothing to lose.....Good luck in what ever you decide to do....

blueeyes_jd · 06-25-2008, 04:51 PM

oh sweetie Im sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo SORRY!!! what JERKS!!! how can people be soooooooooooooooooooooooooo rude??? they KNEW when they moved there that you guys had animals....??? so if they didnt want to move next to some one who had those animals why buy the house next to someone who did??? IDIOTS!!!! I hope you can find some way to keep them... <<<<HUGS>>>>

MeganS · 06-25-2008, 07:11 PM

I'm SOSOSOSOSOSOSO sorry you are having to put up with these jerks! I have some jerky neighbors like that - but if they ever tried to pull something like that...URGH! I soo wish I could think of something for you to do. Do you have any friends or anything that you could keep your horses with and maybe you could work out a deal with payments?

Put up a huge privacy fence and put a gigantic, motion sensored light on the top of it and point it towards their house. Jerks.

I'm so so sorry. Big hugs to you.

mypreciouspups · 06-25-2008, 07:26 PM

Have you ever thought of asking the people on the other side of you if they would sell you a piece of property that would make you have the 4 acres you are needing.. how short are you.. and if it is not much I would do what I could to do that.. then let them see what they can do...
also make sure you do all your homework on your kennel.. hope you get it going and hope that the dogs drive them away.. but more so I would laugh if you could add that 1/8 of a piece of property you need.. something worth trying.. anne

go to your neighbors and inform them of since you having to get rid of your horses then you are now thinking of increasing your dogs and making a go of a bigger kennel. BE super sweet and tell them how you never knew how the animals interfered with their lives and you would have attending to it.

I bet her comment on the free fertilizer was totally sarcasim. Have they ever been able to have children. I bet forgive me for this but she probably just needs to get l_ _ D! Since she has to be so anal with her own life she has to find reasons to make others miserable.
These kinds of people are sickly sweet to your faces.
I HATE PEOPLE THAT ARE PHONY!!!!!

bruizersmummy · 06-25-2008, 10:18 PM

I feel so bad for you.........we just went through something similar to that last year withour horses, just when we were getting ready to close on our house I found out that there wasn't enough property for horses. I had 3 at the time and the ordinace was 5 acres for the first horse and an acre a horse after that. and the house had 5 so we ended up not getting the house. But now we are building our own house on 15 acres in the middle of BFE so it all works out in the end...........................................Hope fully it works out for you too!

ryorkies · 06-26-2008, 04:19 AM

Oh my goodness, this post makes me want to go and visit each of my neighbors and tell them how happy I am to have them as such. I live at the end of a small cul-de-sac on 4 acres of land and there are only 8 homes on our street, but everyone has a dog ... or more. Noone seems to care if there is a dog barking and everyone is mindful if their dog gets out of control for a short time, but noone would ever complain and would probably just mention the incident in passing if it did occur.
My suggestion is to go over your neighbors and tell them that since they complained and it is now pushing you to take action ( Kennel license) that you are now free to get more dogs. Give them the choice .... More dogs, or the horses? Sometimes if you give people a choice they are apt to be more reasonable. Good luck !
